UNITED STATES CLYDE A. CONNELLY, OF'SHELBY, OHIO.
TOWROPE.
Application filed February 10, 1925. Serial No. 8,238.
To (/Z/ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLYDE A. CoNNnLLr, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Shelby, in the county of Itichland and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Towrope, of which the following is a description.
My invention relates to a tow rope particularly adapted for the towing of an automobile or other vehicle.
The general object of my invention is to provide a tow line efiicient for its purpose readily and conveniently applied to the towing car and the towed car and adapted to be quickly shortened or lengthened to meet the conditions of city or state ordinances.
More specifically, an object of the invention is to provide a tow line having loops at the ends and so arranged that the looped form will be permanent though readily adjustable.
The nature of my invention, its distinguishing features and advantages will clearly appear as the description proceeds.
Reference is to be had to the accompany ing drawing forming part of this specifica tion, in which the figure represents an elevation of a tow rope embodying my invention, it being understood that the drawing is merely illustrative of one example of the invention.
In carrying out .my invention a suitable length of rope 10 is provided and a ring 11 for association with each end of the rope. The main run of the rope 1.0 is passed through each ring 11 and returned on itself I to form a main loop 12 at each end of the rope. In the main run of the rope is formed an auxiliary loop 13 at the ring 11, that is,
in forming the auxiliary loop 13 the main run of the rope is passed through the ring 11 and the rope after forming the loop 13 is again passed through the ring 11 and then beyond said ring the rope is returned on itself as referred to for forming the main loop 12. The returned portion of the rope forming the main loop 12 runs through the auxilportion of the rope is formed, spliced, woven or tied into a knot let.
The arrangement permits of the ring be ing moved along the rope to shorten the length thereof where ordinances permit the use of a short towing rope only. At the same time in situations where a long rope is permissible and advantageous, the tow rope may be readily adjustedaccordingly.
When the rope is slackened the knot has a tendency to hang pendent under its own weight, thereby eliminating thedanger of the assemblage coming apart. I would explain also that in towing there is no strain on the ring, the strain being directly on the rope at the outer end of the main loop 12.
I would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, I do not limit myself strictly to the exact details herein illustrated, since, manifestly, the same can be considerably varied without departure from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1.. A towing device comprising a length of rope, a ring adjacent an end of the rope, said rope being passed through the ring and then formed into an auxiliary loop and being passed again through the ring so that the ring has running engagement with the rope at said auxiliary loop, therope beyond said ring and auxiliary loop being returned upon itself to form a main loop, the returned portion extending through the auxiliary loop to have running engagement therewith.
2. A towing device comprising a length of rope, returned on itself to form a main loop, the main run of the rope adjacent said main loop being formed into an auxiliary loop, and means to maintain the form of the auxiliary loop and permit it to shift its position along the length of the rope.
CLYDE A. CONNELLY.
